Instant
Extends:
An instantaneous point on the time-line.
This class models a single instantaneous point on the time-line. This might be used to record event time-stamps in the application.
Time-scale
The length of the solar day is the standard way that humans measure time. This has traditionally been subdivided into 24 hours of 60 minutes of 60 seconds, forming a 86400 second day.
Modern timekeeping is based on atomic clocks which precisely define an SI second relative to the transitions of a Caesium atom. The length of an SI second was defined to be very close to the 86400th fraction of a day.
Unfortunately, as the Earth rotates the length of the day varies. In addition, over time the average length of the day is getting longer as the Earth slows. As a result, the length of a solar day in 2012 is slightly longer than 86400 SI seconds. The actual length of any given day and the amount by which the Earth is slowing are not predictable and can only be determined by measurement. The UT1 time-scale captures the accurate length of day, but is only available some time after the day has completed.
The UTC time-scale is a standard approach to bundle up all the additional fractions of a second from UT1 into whole seconds, known as leap-seconds. A leap-second may be added or removed depending on the Earth's rotational changes. As such, UTC permits a day to have 86399 SI seconds or 86401 SI seconds where necessary in order to keep the day aligned with the Sun.
The modern UTC time-scale was introduced in 1972, introducing the concept of whole leap-seconds. Between 1958 and 1972, the definition of UTC was complex, with minor sub-second leaps and alterations to the length of the notional second. As of 2012, discussions are underway to change the definition of UTC again, with the potential to remove leap seconds or introduce other changes.
Given the complexity of accurate timekeeping described above, this Java API defines its own time-scale, the Java Time-Scale.
The Java Time-Scale divides each calendar day into exactly 86400 subdivisions, known as seconds. These seconds may differ from the SI second. It closely matches the de facto international civil time scale, the definition of which changes from time to time.
The Java Time-Scale has slightly different definitions for different segments of the time-line, each based on the consensus international time scale that is used as the basis for civil time. Whenever the internationally-agreed time scale is modified or replaced, a new segment of the Java Time-Scale must be defined for it. Each segment must meet these requirements:
- the Java Time-Scale shall closely match the underlying international civil time scale;
- the Java Time-Scale shall exactly match the international civil time scale at noon each day;
- the Java Time-Scale shall have a precisely-defined relationship to the international civil time scale.
There are currently, as of 2013, two segments in the Java time-scale.
For the segment from 1972-11-03 (exact boundary discussed below) until further notice, the consensus international time scale is UTC (with leap seconds). In this segment, the Java Time-Scale is identical to UTC-SLS. This is identical to UTC on days that do not have a leap second. On days that do have a leap second, the leap second is spread equally over the last 1000 seconds of the day, maintaining the appearance of exactly 86400 seconds per day.
For the segment prior to 1972-11-03, extending back arbitrarily far, the consensus international time scale is defined to be UT1, applied proleptically, which is equivalent to the (mean) solar time on the prime meridian (Greenwich). In this segment, the Java Time-Scale is identical to the consensus international time scale. The exact boundary between the two segments is the instant where UT1 = UTC between 1972-11-03T00:00 and 1972-11-04T12:00.
Implementations of the Java time-scale using the JSR-310 API are not required to provide any clock that is sub-second accurate, or that progresses monotonically or smoothly. Implementations are therefore not required to actually perform the UTC-SLS slew or to otherwise be aware of leap seconds. JSR-310 does, however, require that implementations must document the approach they use when defining a clock representing the current instant. See Clock for details on the available clocks.
The Java time-scale is used for all date-time classes. This includes Instant, LocalDate, LocalTime, OffsetDateTime, ZonedDateTime and Duration.

Static Public Methods
public static from(temporal: TemporalAccessor): Instant source
Obtains an instance of Instant from a temporal object.
A TemporalAccessor represents some form of date and time information. This factory converts the arbitrary temporal object to an instance of Instant.
The conversion extracts the ChronoField#INSTANT_SECONDS and ChronoField#NANO_OF_SECOND fields.
This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, Instant::from.

Public Methods
public adjustInto(temporal: Temporal): Temporal source
Adjusts the specified temporal object to have this instant.
This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the instant changed to be the same as this.
The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal#with twice, passing ChronoField#INSTANT_SECONDS and ChronoField#NANO_OF_SECOND as the fields.
In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal#with:
// these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisInstant.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal.with(thisInstant);
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| temporal | Temporal |
|
the target object to be adjusted, not null |
Throw:
* |
DateTimeException if unable to make the adjustment |
* |
ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs |
public atOffset(offset: ZoneOffset): OffsetDateTime source
Combines this instant with an offset to create an OffsetDateTime.
This returns an OffsetDateTime formed from this instant at the specified offset from UTC/Greenwich. An exception will be thrown if the instant is too large to fit into an offset date-time.
This method is equivalent to OffsetDateTime#ofInstant.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| offset | ZoneOffset | the offset to combine with, not null |
Return:
| OffsetDateTime | the offset date-time formed from this instant and the specified offset, not null |
Throw:
* |
DateTimeException if the result exceeds the supported range |
public atZone(zone: ZoneId): ZonedDateTime source
Combines this instant with a time-zone to create a ZonedDateTime.
This returns an ZonedDateTime formed from this instant at the specified time-zone. An exception will be thrown if the instant is too large to fit into a zoned date-time.
This method is equivalent to ZonedDateTime#ofInstant.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| zone | ZoneId | the zone to combine with, not null |
Throw:
* |
DateTimeException if the result exceeds the supported range |
public compareTo(otherInstant: Instant): number source
Compares this instant to the specified instant.
The comparison is based on the time-line position of the instants. It is "consistent with equals", as defined by Comparable.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| otherInstant | Instant | the other instant to compare to, not null |
Return:
| number | the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater |
Throw:
* |
NullPointerException if otherInstant is null |
public epochSecond(): number source
Gets the number of seconds from the Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
The epoch second count is a simple incrementing count of seconds where second 0 is 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. The nanosecond part of the day is returned by getNanosOfSecond.
Return:
| number | the seconds from the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z |
public equals(other: *): boolean source
Checks if this instant is equal to the specified instant.
The comparison is based on the time-line position of the instants.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| other | * | the other instant, null/ undefined returns false |
Return:
| boolean | true if the other instant is equal to this one |
public get(field: TemporalField): number source
Gets the value of the specified field from this instant as an int
.
This queries this instant for the value for the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here.
The supported fields (see isSupported) will return valid
values based on this date-time, except INSTANT_SECONDS which is too
large to fit in an int
and throws a DateTimeException.
All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.
If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom
passing this
as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained,
and what the value represents, is determined by the field.
Override:
TemporalAccessor#getParams:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| field | TemporalField | the field to get, not null |
Return:
| number | the value for the field |
Throw:
* |
DateTimeException if a value for the field cannot be obtained |
* |
ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs |
public getLong(field: TemporalField): number source
Gets the value of the specified field from this instant as a long
.
This queries this instant for the value for the specified field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields (see isSupported) will return valid values based on this date-time. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.
If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom
passing this
as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained,
and what the value represents, is determined by the field.
Override:
TemporalAccessor#getLongParams:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| field | TemporalField | the field to get, not null |
Return:
| number | the value for the field |
Throw:
* |
DateTimeException if a value for the field cannot be obtained |
* |
ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs |
public hashCode(): number source
Returns a hash code for this instant.
Return:
| number | a suitable hash code |
public isAfter(otherInstant: Instant): boolean source
Checks if this instant is after the specified instant.
The comparison is based on the time-line position of the instants.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| otherInstant | Instant | the other instant to compare to, not null |
Return:
| boolean | true if this instant is after the specified instant |
Throw:
* |
NullPointerException if otherInstant is null |
public isBefore(otherInstant: Instant): boolean source
Checks if this instant is before the specified instant.
The comparison is based on the time-line position of the instants.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| otherInstant | Instant | the other instant to compare to, not null |
Return:
| boolean | true if this instant is before the specified instant |
Throw:
* |
NullPointerException if otherInstant is null |
public isSupported(fieldOrUnit: TemporalField | TemporalUnit): boolean source
Checks if the specified field is supported.
This checks if this instant can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling range and get will throw an exception.
If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields are:
- NANO_OF_SECOND
- MICRO_OF_SECOND
- MILLI_OF_SECOND
- INSTANT_SECONDS
All other ChronoField instances will return false.
If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalField.isSupportedBy
passing this
as the argument.
Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.

public query(query: TemporalQuery): * source
Queries this instant using the specified query.
This queries this instant using the specified query strategy object. The TemporalQuery object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.
The result of this method is obtained by invoking the
TemporalQuery#queryFrom method on the
specified query passing this
as the argument.
Override:
TemporalAccessor#queryParams:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| query | TemporalQuery |
|
the query to invoke, not null |
Return:

public range(field: TemporalField): ValueRange source
Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.
The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This instant is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields (see isSupported) will return appropriate range instances. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.
If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy
passing this
as the argument.
Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.
Override:
TemporalAccessor#rangeParams:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| field | TemporalField | the field to query the range for, not null |
Throw:
* |
DateTimeException if the range for the field cannot be obtained |
public toEpochMilli(): number source
Converts this instant to the number of milliseconds from the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
If this instant represents a point on the time-line too far in the future
or past to fit in a long
milliseconds, then an exception is thrown.
If this instant has greater than millisecond precision, then the conversion will drop any excess precision information as though the amount in nanoseconds was subject to integer division by one million.
Return:
| number | the number of milliseconds since the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z |
Throw:
* |
ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs |
public toString(): string source
A string representation of this instant using ISO-8601 representation.
The format used is the same as DateTimeFormatter#ISO_INSTANT.
Return:
| string | an ISO-8601 representation of this instant, not null |
public truncatedTo(unit: TemporalUnit): Instant source
Returns a copy of this Instant truncated to the specified unit.
Truncating the instant returns a copy of the original with fields smaller than the specified unit set to zero. The fields are calculated on the basis of using a UTC offset as seen in toString. For example, truncating with ChronoUnit#MINUTES will round down to the nearest minute, setting the seconds and nanoseconds to zero.
The unit must have a duration (see TemporalUnit#getDuration) that divides into the length of a standard day without remainder. This includes all supplied time units on ChronoUnit and ChronoUnit#DAYS. Other units throw an exception.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| unit | TemporalUnit |
|
the unit to truncate to, not null |
Throw:
* |
DateTimeException if the unit is invalid for truncation |
public until(endExclusive: Temporal, unit: TemporalUnit): number source
Calculates the period between this instant and another instant in terms of the specified unit.
This calculates the period between two instants in terms of a single unit.
The start and end points are this
and the specified instant.
The result will be negative if the end is before the start.
The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of
complete units between the two instants.
The Temporal passed to this method is converted to a
Instant using from.
For example, the period in days between two dates can be calculated
using startInstant.until(endInstant, SECONDS)
.
This method operates in association with TemporalUnit#between.
The result of this method is a long
representing the amount of
the specified unit. By contrast, the result of between is an
object that can be used directly in addition/subtraction:
long period = start.until(end, SECONDS); // this method dateTime.plus(SECONDS.between(start, end)); // use in plus/minus
The calculation is implemented in this method for ChronoUnit. The units NANOS, MICROS, MILLIS, SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS, HALF_DAYS and DAYS are supported. Other ChronoUnit values will throw an exception.
If the unit is not a ChronoUnit, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.between
passing this
as the first argument and the input temporal as
the second argument.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Override:
Temporal#untilParams:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| endExclusive | Temporal | the end date, which is converted to an Instant, not null |
|
| unit | TemporalUnit | the unit to measure the period in, not null |
Return:
| number | the amount of the period between this date and the end date |
Throw:
* |
DateTimeException if the period cannot be calculated |
* |
ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs |

Subject Changes to repositories using symlinks to /var/db/kiss/repo
From Dylan Araps<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Date Wed, 11 Aug 2020 03:21:09 +0100
In two weeks' time, the assumption that the official repositories live in
/var/db/kiss/repo will be removed. This change only affects repositories which
contain symlinks to this location.
This change is being made for a number of reasons.
- There should be no forced system-wide repository. Users should be free to put
the official repositories wherever they like (or even safely remove them). In
other words, the official repositories should not be something special.
- The official repositories can be removed from the installation medium. This
reduces the size of the tarball by an amount that can only grow over time.
- Users will now learn about repositories and how they work as a part of the
installation process. The guide will also include information about the
Community repository (and the KISS universe) early on.
Repositories with symlinks to /var/db/kiss/repo contain packages based on
official repository packages. The maintainer may only need to change a package's
build file so they symlink the rest of the files to the official repositories
(removing the maintenance burden and duplicate effort).
The now recommended way to layer packages in this manner is to use Git
submodules. Add the official repositories to your repository as a submodule,
update your symlinks to /relatively/ point there and the package manager will
handle the rest.
An example repository can be found here: $/dylanaraps/kiss-submodule-links
Notes about this change:
- The package manager is already aware of submodules and this already works.
- It makes repository dependence explicit rather than implicit.
- The submodule is standalone and uninfluenced by KISS_PATH.
- It required no code.
This change will be made in two weeks. Everything is ready on my end, the time
is given for repository owners to make the needed change. If all goes well and
there are no qualms, this change may be made before the deadline. We'll see
where the wind takes us.
Discussion will be kept open until the change is made. Please leave your
thoughts in the link below or somewhere I can see them. Happy to answer any
questions you may have. :)
Discussion: $/kiss-community/repo/issues/209

For the most wild, yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not--and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburden my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events. In their consequences, these events have terrified--have tortured--have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they have presented little but horror--to many they will seem less terrible than . Hereafter, perhaps, some intellect may be found which will reduce my phantasm to the commonplace--some intellect more calm, more logical, and far less excitable than my own, which will perceive, in the circumstances I detail with
awe, nothing more than an ordinary succession of very natural causes and effects. From my infancy I was noted for the docility and humanity of my disposition. My tenderness of heart was even so conspicuous as to make me the jest of my companions. I was especially fond of animals, and was indulged by my parents with a great variety of pets. With these I spent most of my time, and never was so happy as when feeding and caressing them. This peculiarity of character grew with my growth, and, in my manhood, I derived from it one of my principal sources of pleasure. To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful and sagacious dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature of the intensity of the gratification thus derivable. There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere . I married early, and was happy to find in my wife a disposition not uncongenial with my own. Observing my partiality for domestic pets, she lost no opportunity of procuring those of the most agreeable kind. We had birds, gold-fish, a fine dog, rabbits, a small monkey, and . This latter was a remarkably large and beautiful animal, entirely black, and sagacious to an astonishing degree. In speaking of his intelligence, my wife, who at heart was not a little tinctured with superstition, made frequent allusion to the ancient popular notion, which regarded all black cats as witches in disguise. Not that she was ever upon this point--and I mention the matter at all for no better reason than that it happens, just now, to be remembered. Pluto--this was the cat's name--was my favourite pet and playmate. I alone fed him, and he attended me wherever I went about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could prevent him from following me through the streets. Our friendship lasted, in this manner, for several years, during which my general temperament and character--through the instrumentality of the fiend Intemperance--had (I blush to confess it) experienced a radical alteration for the worse. I grew, day by day, more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the feel-
ings of others. I suffered myself to use intemperate language to my wife. At length, I even offered her personal violence. My pets, of course, were made to feel the change in my disposition. I not only neglected, but ill-used them. For Pluto, however, I still retained sufficient regard to restrain me from maltreating him, as I made no scruple of maltreating the rabbits, the monkey, or even the dog, when by accident, or through affection, they came in my way. But my disease grew upon me--for what disease is like alcohol?--and at length even Pluto, who was now becoming old, and consequently somewhat peevish--even Pluto began to experience the effects of my ill-temper. One night, returning home, much intoxicated, from one of my haunts about town, I fancied that the cat avoided my presence. I seized him; when, in his fright at my violence, he inflicted a slight wound upon my hand with his teeth. The fury of a demon instantly possessed me. I knew myself no longer. My original soul seemed, at once, to take its flight from my body; and a more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrilled every fibre of my frame. I took from my waistcoat pocket a pen-knife, opened it, grasped the poor beast by the throat, and deliberately cut one of its eyes from the socket! I blush, I burn, I shudder, while I pen the damnable atrocity. When reason returned with the morning--when I had slept off the fumes of the night's debauch--I experienced a sentiment half of horror, half of remorse, for the crime of which I had been guilty; but it was, at best, a feeble and equivocal feeling, and the soul remained untouched. I again plunged into excess, and soon drowned in wine all memory of the deed. In the meantime the cat slowly recovered. The socket of the lost eye presented, it is true, a frightful appearance, but he no longer appeared to suffer any pain. He went about the house as usual, but, as might be expected, fled in extreme terror at my approach. I had so much of my old heart left, as to be at first grieved by this evident dislike on the part of a creature which had once so loved me. But this feeling soon gave place to irritation. And then came, as if to my final and irrevocable overthrow, the spirit of PERVERSENESS. Of this spirit philosophy takes no account. Yet I am not more sure that my soul lives, than I am that perverseness is one
of the primitive impulses of the human heart--one of the indivisible primary faculties, or sentiments, which give direction to the character of man.  Have we not a perpetual inclination, in the teeth of our best judgment, to violate that which is , merely because we understand it to be such? This spirit of perverseness, I say, came to my final overthrow. It was this unfathomable longing of the soul --to offer violence to its own nature--to do wrong for the wrong's sake only--that urged me to continue and finally to consummate the injury I had inflicted upon the unoffending brute. One morning, in cool blood, I slipped a noose about its neck and hung it to the limb of a tree--hung it with the tears streaming from my eyes, and with the bitterest remorse at my heart--hung it I knew that it had loved me, and I felt it had given me no reason of offence--hung it I knew that in so doing I was committing a sin--a deadly sin that would so jeopardize my immortal soul as to place it--if such a thing were possible--even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God. On the night of the day on which this cruel deed was done, I was aroused from sleep by the cry of 'Fire!' The curtains of my bed were in flames. The whole house was blazing. It was with great difficulty that my wife, a servant, and myself, made our escape from the conflagration. The destruction was complete. My entire worldly wealth was swallowed up, and I resigned myself thenceforward to despair. I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect between the disaster and the atrocity. But I am detailing a chain of facts, and wish not to leave even a possible link imperfect. On the day succeeding the fire, I visited the ruins. The walls, with one exception, had fallen in. This exception was found in a compartment wall, not very thick, which stood about the middle of the house, and against which had rested the head of my bed. The plastering had here, in great measure, resisted the action of the fire--a fact which I attributed to its having been recently spread. About this wall a dense crowd were collected, and many persons seemed to be examining a particular portion of it with
very minute and eager attention. The words 'strange!' 'singular!' and other similar expressions, excited my curiosity. I approached and saw, as if graven in bas-relief upon the white surface, the figure of a gigantic . The impression was given with an accuracy truly marvellous. There was a rope about the animal's neck. When I first beheld this apparition--for I could scarcely regard it as less--my wonder and my terror were extreme. But at length reflection came to my aid. The cat, I remembered, had been hung in a garden adjacent to the house. Upon the alarm of fire, this garden had been immediately filled by the crowd--by some one of whom the animal must have been cut from the tree and thrown, through an open window, into my chamber. This had probably been done with the view of arousing me from sleep. The falling of other walls had compressed the victim of my cruelty into the substance of the freshly-spread plaster; the lime of which, with the flames and the from the carcass, had then accomplished the portraiture as I saw it. Although I thus readily accounted to my reason, if not altogether to my conscience, for the startling fact just detailed, it did not the less fail to make a deep impression upon my fancy. For months I could not rid myself of the phantasm of the cat; and, during this period, there came back into my spirit a half-sentiment that seemed, but was not, remorse. I went so far as to regret the loss of the animal, and to look about me, among the vile haunts which I now habitually frequented, for another pet of the same species, and of somewhat similar appearance, with which to supply its place. One night as I sat, half-stupefied, in a den of more than infamy, my attention was suddenly drawn to some black object, reposing upon the head of one of the immense hogsheads of gin, or of rum, which constituted the chief furniture of the apartment. I had been looking steadily at the top of this hogshead for some minutes, and what now caused me surprise was the fact that I had not sooner perceived the object thereupon. I approached it, and touched it with my hand. It was a black cat--a very large one-- fully as large as Pluto, and closely resembling him in every respect but one. Pluto had not a white hair upon any portion of his body; but this
cat had a large, although indefinite, splotch of white, covering nearly the whole region of the breast. Upon my touching him, he immediately arose, purred loudly, rubbed against my hand, and appeared delighted with my notice. This, then, was the very creature of which I was in search. I at once offered to purchase it of the landlord; but this person made no claim to it--knew nothing of it--had never seen it before. I continued my caresses, and when I prepared to go home, the animal evinced a disposition to accompany me. I permitted it to do so; occasionally stooping and patting it as I proceeded. When it reached the house it domesticated itself at once, and became immediately a great favourite with my wife. For my own part, I soon found a dislike to it arising within me. This was just the reverse of what I had anticipated; but--I know not how or why it was--its evident fondness for myself rather disgusted and annoyed me. By slow degrees, these feelings of disgust and annoyance rose into the bitterness of hatred. I avoided the creature; a certain sense of shame, and the remembrance of my former deed of cruelty, preventing me from physically abusing it. I did not, for some weeks, strike, or otherwise violently ill- use it; but gradually--very gradually--I came to look upon it with unutterable loathing, and to flee silently from its odious presence, as from the breath of a pestilence. What added, no doubt, to my hatred of the beast, was the discovery, on the morning after I brought it home, that, like Pluto, it also had been deprived of one of its eyes. This circumstance, however, only endeared it to my wife, who, as I have already said, possessed, in a high degree, that humanity of feeling which had once been my distinguishing trait, and the source of many of my simplest and purest pleasures. With my aversion to this cat, however, its partiality for myself seemed to increase. It followed my footsteps with a pertinacity which it would be difficult to make the reader comprehend. Whenever I sat, it would crouch beneath my chair, or spring upon my knees, covering me with its loathsome caresses. If I arose to walk, it would get between my feet, and thus nearly throw me down, or, fastening its long and sharp claws in my dress, clamber, in this manner, to my breast. At such times, although I longed to
destroy it with a blow, I was yet withheld from so doing, partly by a memory of my former crime, but chiefly--let me confess it at once--by absolute of the beast. This dread was not exactly a dread of physical evil--and yet I should be at a loss how otherwise to define it. I am almost ashamed to own--yes, even in this felon's cell, I am almost ashamed to own--that the terror and horror with which the animal inspired me, had been heightened by one of the merest chimeras it would be possible to conceive. My wife had called my attention, more than once, to the character of the mark of white hair, of which I have spoken, and which constituted the sole visible difference between the strange beast and the one I had destroyed. The reader will remember that this mark, although large, had been originally very indefinite; but, by slow degrees--degrees nearly imperceptible, and which for a long time my reason struggled to reject as fanciful--it had, at length, resumed a rigorous distinctness of outline. It was now the representation of an object that I shudder to name--and for this, above all, I loathed, and dreaded, and would have rid myself of the monster --it was now, I say, the image of a hideous--of a ghastly thing--of the GALLOWS!--oh, mournful and terrible engine of horror and of crime--of agony and death! And now was I indeed wretched beyond the wretchedness of mere humanity. And a --whose fellow I had contemptuously destroyed--a to work out for --for me, a man, fashioned in the image of the High God--so much of insufferable woe! Alas! neither by day nor by night knew I the blessing of rest any more! During the former the creature left me no moment alone; and, in the latter, I started, hourly, from dreams of unutterable fear, to find the hot breath of upon my face, and its vast weight--an incarnate nightmare that I had no power to shake off--incumbent eternally upon my ! Beneath the pressure of torments such as these, the feeble remnant of the good within me succumbed. Evil thoughts became my sole intimates--the darkest and most evil of thoughts. The moodiness of my usual temper increased to hatred of things and of all mankind; while, from the sudden, frequent, and ungovernable outbursts of a fury to which I now blindly abandoned
myself, my uncomplaining wife, alas! was the most usual and the most patient of sufferers. One day she accompanied me, upon some household errand, into the cellar of the old building which our poverty compelled us to inhabit. The cat followed me down the steep stairs, and, nearly throwing me headlong, exasperated me to madness. Uplifting an axe, and forgetting, in my wrath, the childish dread which had hitherto stayed my hand, I aimed a blow at the animal which, of course, would have proved instantly fatal had it descended as I wished. But this blow was arrested by the hand of my wife. Goaded, by the interference, into a rage more than demoniacal, I withdrew my arm from her grasp, and buried the axe in her brain. She fell dead upon the spot, without a groan. This hideous murder accomplished, I set myself forthwith, and with entire deliberation, to the task of concealing the body. I knew that I could not remove it from the house, either by day or by night, without the risk of being observed by the neighbours. Many projects entered my mind. At one period I thought of cutting the corpse into minute fragments and destroying them by fire. At another, I resolved to dig a grave for it in the floor of the cellar. Again, I deliberated about casting it into the well in the yard--about packing it in a box, as if merchandise, with the usual arrangements, and so getting a porter to take it from the house. Finally I hit upon what I considered a far better expedient than either of these. I determined to wall it up in the cellar--as the monks of the Middle Ages are recorded to have walled up their victims. For a purpose such as this the cellar was well adapted. Its walls were loosely constructed, and had lately been plastered throughout with a rough plaster, which the dampness of the atmosphere had prevented from hardening. Moreover, in one of the walls was a projection, caused by a false chimney, or fire-place, that had been filled up and made to resemble the rest of the cellar. I made no doubt that I could readily displace the bricks at this point, insert the corpse, and wall the whole up as before, so that no eye could detect anything suspicious. And in this calculation I was not deceived. By means of a crowbar I easily dislodged the bricks, and having carefully
deposited the body against the inner wall, I propped it in that position, while, with little trouble, I relaid the whole structure as it originally stood. Having procured mortar, sand, and hair, with every possible precaution, I prepared a plaster which could not be distinguished from the old, and with this I very carefully went over the new brickwork. When I had finished, I felt satisfied that all was right. The wall did not present the slightest appearance of having been disturbed. The rubbish on the floor was picked up with the minutest care. I looked around triumphantly, and said to myself, 'Here at least, then, my labour has not been in vain.' My next step was to look for the beast which had been the cause of so much wretchedness; for I had, at length, firmly resolved to put it to death. Had I been able to meet with it at the moment, there could have been no doubt of its fate; but it appeared that the crafty animal had been alarmed at the violence of my previous anger, and forbore to present itself in my present mood. It is impossible to describe, or to imagine, the deep, the blissful sense of relief which the absence of the detested creature occasioned in my bosom. It did not make its appearance during the night--and thus for one night at least, since its introduction into the house, I soundly and tranquilly slept; aye, even with the burden of murder upon my soul! The second and the third day passed, and still my tormentor came not. Once again I breathed as a free man. The monster, in terror, had fled the premises for ever! I should behold it no more! My happiness was supreme! The guilt of my dark deed disturbed me but little. Some few inquiries had been made, but these had been readily answered. Even a search had been instituted--but of course nothing was to be discovered. I looked upon my future felicity as secured. Upon the fourth day of the assassination, a party of the police came, very unexpectedly, into the house, and proceeded again to make rigorous investigation of the premises. Secure, however, in the inscrutability of my place of concealment, I felt no embarrassment whatever. The officers bade me accompany them in their search. They left no nook or corner unexplored. At length, for the third or fourth time, they descended into the cellar. I quivered not in a muscle. My heart beat calmly as that of one who slumbers in
innocence. I walked the cellar from end to end. I folded my arms upon my bosom, and roamed easily to and fro. The police were thoroughly satisfied, and prepared to depart. The glee at my heart was too strong to be restrained. I burned to say if but one word, by way of triumph, and to render doubly sure their assurance of my guiltlessness. 'Gentlemen,' I said at last, as the party ascended the steps, 'I delight to have allayed your suspicions. I wish you all health, and a little more courtesy. By-the-by, gentlemen, this--this is a very well-constructed house.' (In the rabid desire to say something easily, I scarcely knew what I uttered at all.) 'I may say an well-constructed house. These walls--are you going, gentlemen?--these walls are solidly put together'; and here, through the mere frenzy of bravado, I rapped heavily, with a cane which I held in my hand, upon that very portion of the brickwork behind which stood the corpse of the wife of my bosom. But may God shield and deliver me from the fangs on the Arch- Fiend! No sooner had the reverberation of my blows sunk into silence, than I was answered by a voice from within the tomb!--by a cry, at first muffled and broken, like the sobbing of a child, and then quickly swelling into one long, loud, and continuous scream, half of horror and half of triumph, such as might have arisen only out of hell, conjointly from the throats of the damned in their agony and of the demons that exult in the damnation. Of my own thoughts it is folly to speak. Swooning, I staggered to the opposite wall. For one instant the party upon the stairs remained motionless, through extremity of terror and of awe. In the next, a dozen stout arms were toiling at the wall. It fell bodily. The corpse, already greatly decayed and clotted with gore, stood erect before the eyes of the spectators. Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder, and whose informing voice had consigned me to the hangman. I had walled the monster up within the tomb!


This is the first article in a series that aims to cover common data structures.
A binary search tree is an in-memory data structure whose purpose in life is to make ultra fast searches even through large amounts of data. The main downside of this structure is the need for the data to be ordered.
Let’s start first by identifying why a binary search is so fast. If we have an array as shown in the image below, with elements a fixed number of elements in it as long as they are sorted we can use what is called a binary search to find if an element is contained in the array or not.
A binary search purpose is to eliminate half of the data in every iteration slicing each time the amount of data that needs to be searched. In the array above, we would start by looking at the element in the middle ( n/2 ). If the data we are looking for is there our search is done. The next step is the one that makes the split it half. If the element we are looking for is less than the middle, then we repeat the search in the middle left, otherwise we repeat the search in the middle right. And then repeat the same sequence as you can see in the images below.
Eventually we will find the element we are looking for, or we would traverse the whole dataset in the minimum number possible of steps making sure the element is not there. Keep in mind that this algorithm takes into account the fact that the data within the array is already ordered using the same criteria that will be used to search within it. If you need to start with unsorted data, then you need to sort it first.
Now let’s take this to the next level. What if each element within the array was uniquely placed in memory with a simple way of reaching to the elements on the left, or the elements on the right? But each of those sets of elements need to maintain the same rule. That is what we can refer to as a node. A Node is going to have 3 pieces to it:
- Data
- A pointer to a node on the left
- A pointer to a node on the right
Each node will point in turn to another node, or when the node doesn’t have any left or right pointers, it is called a leaf. In the example below, you can see the node in the middle has the value of 100 - and this is called the root, because it is our entry point into the tree. All the data on the left hand side of the root is less than 100 while all the nodes on the right will have values larger than 100.
With such a tree, we can easily create a recursive search algorithm. The following piece of code is written in Java:
Below is the same approach but written in C++
Stay tuned, because in future articles I will add more operations to the Binary Search Tree and will also talk about optimizing the code utilizing more object oriented principles and strengths of Java and C++.

title: IMAGE CAPTIONING
---
Project Overview: The aim of this project is to construct a neural network architecture (CNN Encoder- RNN Decoder) which generates captions from images (text describing the image) automatically. The model is trained on Microsoft Common Objects in Context (MS COCO) dataset and the network is tested on the novel images. Image Source: [ Google ]
Dataset Used: The dataset used is Microsoft Common Objects in Context (MS COCO) dataset [ COCO api ]which is a large-scale dataset for scene understanding. The dataset is commonly used to train and benchmark object detection, segmentation, and captioning algorithms. The dataset is a very rich labelled dataset and contains a large variety of images wherin each image is associated with five captions. To know more about the dataset, click here.
Architecture In Brief: In order to generate a caption of a image, we need the spatial information about the image along with a sequential text description. As we all know, CNNs excel as preserving the spatial information in images and RNNs deal with the sequential data. Thus, for captioning , the most powerful attributes of CNN-RNN are combined. End-to-End, the image is being processed by the CNN, which is often called as Encoder and then the processed image is given as innput to the RNN, which is often called as Decoder which will generate the descriptive text for the input image. Image Source:[ Udacity ] Methodology:
For training, I have used images in COCO dataset as input and have sampled one caption from a set of captions for each image to train on. Further, after loading the COCO dataset in batches, I have transformed the images and performed preprocessing on the captions as the captions need to be preprocessed for training. For captions preprocessing, I have created a model that predicts the next token of a sentence from previous tokens, for this, the caption associated with any image is converted into a list of tokenized words using nltk tokenizer . Also, to each caption, I have appended After all the preprocessing, I have defined my CNN-RNN architecture: I have used a ResNet pre-trained model for the encoder. ResNet stands for Residual Networks. More specifically, I have used resnet-50 which is a 50 layer residual network. In order to get more glimpse about the ResNet architecture, follow this paper . It has been proved that training residual networks is easier than training a simple deep convolutional neural networks and also the problem of degrading accuracy is resolved in case of ResNets. Note: ( Since we dont want to classify a image, rather we want to get the spatial information of the image, so the final fully connected layer has been removed from the encoder; thus converting the input image tensor into a feature vector). The CNN encoder has been implemented with the final fully-connected layer removed to extract features from a batch of pre-processed images. The output is then flattened to a vector, before being passed through a Linear layer to transform the feature vector to have the same size as the word embedding. The feature vector from the CNN is fed as input to our Decoder. For Decoder, I have followed the Show and Tell Model described in this paper . The structure includes a single LSTM (Long Short Term Memory ) layer followed by a fully-connected (linear) layer. Tweaking of Hyperparameters: I have used a batch size of 25 which is enough to reduce the variance of the stochastic gradients. This, in turn, allows to take bigger step-sizes, which means the optimization algorithm makes progress faster. I have used a vocab_threshold value of 5. We need this parameter to be set for building the vocabulary file. With this value of voccab_threshold, vocabulary of 8855 tokens has been built. Also, I have used embed_size = 512 and hidden_size = 512.
Trainable Parameters:
I have used the following trainable parameters for decoder and encoder respectively.
{ params = list(decoder.parameters()) + list(encoder.embed.parameters()) }.
Since, the decoder is being trained from scratch so we need to train all the parameters . Hence, for decoder, I have taken all the learnable parameters (decoder.parameters()) . And, since we are using a pre-trained model for encoder, hence there is no need to take into account all the parameters. However, I do need the parameters of embedding layer to be trained. Hence, for encoder, I have used (encoder.embed.parameters()).
Optimizer:
Since Adam maintains an adaptive learning rate and momentum for each parameter so, I used Adam Optimizer with the following parameters:
After training my model on COCO dataset, I have testes it on some novel images. Some of the captions generated as as follows:

How I painted Stormcast Eternals
July 22, 2018 by John
Having painted up the Nighthaunt guys from the Soul Wars box set it was time to do the Stormcast chaps (and at least one chapess). These took considerably long than the Nighthaunt due to the metallic process and the sheer amount of detail on the models. I tried to photograph the whole procedure but there are gaps which I will fill in with the magic of words…
Firstly they were all basecoated with Vallejo grey primer and this was followed up with black primer on all the areas to be painted blue. The reasoning is that I’ve found that gold doesn’t go down well on the darker undercoat but blue lies nicely on black. I then painted all the retributory gold areas and washed with a nix of GW flesh wash and Agrax Earthshade resulting in the figures below.
Next it was time to bling up the gold using first retributory gold then increasing the amount of silver in the mix and successively diminishing the highlighted areas as per the familiar layer method.
Dark blue was then thin coated over the black undercoat areas. For me this was Vallejo Dark Prussian blue but any dark blue will do I guess.
At this point the models are starting to get interesting as the contrasts start appearing and you can see the finished item in your head. The painting is also starting to get more interesting as from here the work on the cloaks begins with white added to successive highlight layers and where necessary glazes of the original blue added to tone down over highlighting which can happen when painting all 20 figures at the same time. It is easy to overdo especially in less than perfect light.
With all the blue done and some edge highlights it was time to do the lighter surcoat arrangement. Just on edge highlights personally im a bit dubious on cloth as when I look around the real world I don’t see this except on leather type materials but I realise that in the miniature world it is an effect which looks good – in moderation.
Anyways the surcoats were painted Vallejo desert yellow which is very pigment and provides a strong base. My mix of flesh and agrax was then washed over before highlighting up through sand to ivory. Where the contrast was too great where the wash had pooled a thin glaze of ivory provided a bit of a moderating influence. The first picture below showing with desert yellow the next at the endpoint.
The second picture also shows most of the rest of the base layers in place such as the hafts of weapons and the blacks of armour etc. From this point on it was mostly edge highlighting the black armour which I assume is some leather, metalling the weapons and tidying up any mistakes. The airbrush came out for the effect on the shields as seen below then it was onto basing.
Basing for models going on ebay is always a variation on a theme and nothing radical, sand on pva, then varnished with the rest of the figure to set. Then painted with Wilkos brown paint, drybrushed a couple of times and foliage added where appropriate. Premade base holes can be covered with the perfectly sized greenstuffworld skulls.
The completed collection can be seen on my flickr page HERE
Imperial knight Crusader
July 6, 2018 by John
Just completed a Knight Crusader which will be going up on ebay this Thursday. I tried to photograph at the end of each stage but to be honest I was less than thorough so what we have is about half the stages photographed…
The skeleton
Easy enough – the whole skeleton apparatus was sprayed with Vallejo gunmetal over a black undercoat. Used the modelcolour with flow improver as my model air gunmetal ran out. Nice and even spray though. All a bit flat though. I then painted a coat of Agrax Earthshade over the whole and once that was dry drybrushed with silver and airbrushed a few areas where the light would fall such as the tops of the leg joints and gun barrel tops.
Then to provide some interest and contrast some random decorative bits were picked out in brass which was itself washed with fleshwash and agrax mixed. This gives what I think is a pleasing look.
As can be seen in this sideways picture of a leg. Pistons were painted silver and nuln oil run into cracks and crevasses after a gloss varnish.
Meanwhile in another part of the galaxy the interesting bits were being painted…
The majority of the panels were painted off model and as the whole had to be House Terryn - as the only decals that came in the Original Renegades Knight only came with Terryn decals. Anyway that meant blue and some nice modulation on the panels. These are big enough for this to pack some punch as an effect. Vallejo blues were used. Once the blues were established it was time to mask off the completed work and get on with next stage, the red.
Masking is easy on these big models and is done by a mix of Tamiya masking and Vallejo fluid. Then the reds were applied.
The biggest pain after this is removing the latex masking fluid but once done its starting to look like something. The reality has more contrast than these photos and is increased by glazes and by edging after a solid gloss varnish.
I also did one of the shoulder guards in hazard stripes because of cool! This was easier than I imagined as I cut a thin straight strip of masking and put it down the middle on a diagonal. All the others were placed by eye as the curve made measuring difficult. The yellow was applied over a coat of sand which acts as a good base. It was then faded by adding a bit of a sandy colour to the yellow.
All the off model carapace parts were then put aside and those bits which couldn’t be painted off model were done. To stop any airbrush paint hitting the skeleton the mix of masking tape and fluid was supplemented by clingfilm and the whole modulation business repeated.
It’s a bit of a faff but works well as can be seen below taken at about three stages further after all the trim was painted, the whole glossed, nuln oil run into the cracks and crannies and even the decals added….
Similarly I forgot to snap the same stages on the armour plates which can be seen below after the same stages. I think I got carried away by the fun stages.
This shot shows the contrast much better as well as the wash on the gold edging which will need highlighting. I had no decal for the Terryn writing to go on the chestplate so was a bit wary of my freehand Gothic skills…
Fortunately this was not as difficult as I had imagined and it turned out reasonably well. Not perfect but pretty good.
Next is a picture of all the carapace parts after matt varnishing. While I realise enormous death robots aren’t going for camouflage I also don’t see them being painted in Dulux gloss and even if they were this dulls to matt in the weather.
The skeleton was not matt varnished to retain a more metallic feel. Then it was time to put it all together for the first time. As you can see this is a big boy, too big for my cheapo self-made photo booth.
I thought it might look cool next to its brother Gallant
So that’s it two imperial knights from the old Renegade Knights box and both up for sale on ebay. Kits went together perfectly and they were a pleasure to paint. I will get some better pictures up on my flickr page asap.
Alpha legion
July 1, 2018 by John
Following my recent experience painting Dark Angels I decided to paint up the other figures from the Dark Vengeance range, the Chaos Cultists, Helbrute and Chosen, as Alpha Legion. The Alpha Legion seem to me to be the most interesting of the traitor legions with their shadowy covert operator back story. In the fluff they work to foment rebellion and revolt throughout the empire undermining the traditional family values of the Emperor.
I had also heard on various podcasts that they were actually a pretty good faction rules-wise, using lots of misguided cultists who had bought into the idea that guns were good and big guns were better…
Anyway with a couple of Dark Vengeance lots, a few chaos marines, some bikes and some older Raptors I decided to go for an Alpha legion force in a fading dark blue to dark green style using the airbrush to fade from one to the other. This would hopefully get across the changeable nature of the legion itself. I started with the cultists to get my hand in and get the idea fixed. These are really nice models and I varied the skin tones as I’m pretty sure in the future not everybody is white.
In these wip pics they aren’t based but the final figures are as can be seen in the gallery. I have the cultists on 32mm for rule of cool but can change them if sold.
I was pretty pleased with these guys and liked the burnt barrel effects on the bigger guns. The close combat cultists were also clean to paint and I tried to keep the same theme going across the whole mob of 40.
Next up was the leader of the rabble rousers and I had an actual resin Dark Apostle which had come in some fantasy chaos stuff I had bought some time ago. This guy is the real deal for cultists apparently as he gives some benefits to them within the rules as well as looking cool.
So having sorted the meat shield I thought I should add a bit of brute force in the shape of a couple of Helbrutes. The larger panels on this model allowed more obvious shading from green to blue and I tried to make the darker demony bits in between look more organic by some less than subtle muscly striation – which I’m not so sure about.
Having got into the swing of things I now went for the Chosen and the HQ figures and these I think are least satisfactory for me as I didn’t realise quite how ridiculously baroque was their armour. Such was the amount of silvery ornamentation it sort of outshone the fading effect and left me feeling that perhaps a single stronger background colour might have been more effective such as the crimson used by GW. However I was now wedded to my theme and made the best of it. In my head were the conflicting ideas that covert operators par excellence probably eschewed so much baroque splendour as not easy to conceal in the shrubbery but at the same time remembering the Napoleonic soldiers who would wear their finest uniforms for battle to face death looking their best.
Which left the HQ man who in the Alpha Legion can be any character as they make it impossible to decapitate the actual leadership by disguising the real leader and also probably allowing a more devolved leadership, possibly a sort of Monty Python anarchist collective.
The actual non anarchist collective warlord! These models are great but I do wonder about practicalities in the 41st century as he has nowhere to carry his enormous sword or even a holster for his pistol. Perhaps the Alpha Legion are not the alpha and omega of efficient insurgency.
